Early Boom WAD showing lots of engine tricks, with a 3D bridge, a deep-water moat, a swirling vortex, and more. Starts off kind of tough, as you struggle in the deep water, but levels out later. Path forward is rarely clear, with keys spawning in arbitrary places, and computer screens acting as switches. Overall, neat for observing Boom's editing features, but kind of a so-so play. 3/5 -VV

* Revision History *

20-MAY-98       Fixed some co-op bugs that were discovered by 
		Blake Linton Wilfong and Bryan Shelton, WR linedefs were
		added to return the elevator to the current floor. This
		prevents the elevator from being stuck due to player death.
		Also added a few more rad suits in co-op mode.

15-APR-98	Fix the archie & crusher demo switch bug, it needed to
		be an SR switch in case the switch was activated before
		the crusher finished crushing. Thanks to Len Pitre for pointing
		this out.

14-apr-98	Fix the slime trail by the bridge. Thanks to Lee for the
		fix. Slight change to the whirlpool.

13-apr-98	A few more minor tweaks, corrected areas where opening
		of some doors didn't cause the light to flood the
		adjoining darker sectors. Changes to the difficulty 
		settings so that Easy is almost a walkthrough. 
		Changed the way to get the red skull key slightly due
		a visual bug with the bridge.

06-apr-98	Release version
		fixed some textures
		fixed hom bug as reported by Carmack (at least I know he saw my work!)
